Diabetes, Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome |
Due to the dramatic increases in their prevalence, diabetes and obesity have become among the most common and costly
health problems in the U.S. and other developed countries. Two-thirds of the adult U.S. population is overweight and one-half of
those individuals – one-third of the adult population – are obese. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes has also increased markedly in
recent decades not only among adults, but in children as well. Although type 1 diabetes is less common, it is a potentially devastating
disorder affecting both children and adults and, while treatments for both types of diabetes exist, neither is curable and effective
treatments for obesity are yet to be developed. Desire to find cures for diabetes, obesity and related metabolic syndrome are high
pushing the demand for innovative reagents for research in this area.
